From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: not errors, but three suggestions for cleanup of the iptables script /etc/init.d/iptables: 1) line 54: chains=`cat /proc/net/ip_tables_names ...` this variable should really be "tables", not "chains", although this will still work since the variable is still used consistently throughout the script. (this occurs more than once in the script.) 2) both lines 57 and 68, which ostensibly clear entries from the current tables, are immediately followed by a redundant "iptables -F". again, not an error, but confusing if you're trying to figure out what those extra flushes are for. apparently, nothing. (this also occurs more than once in the script.) 3) references to all possible combinations of tables and chains do not mention the newer combinations of the mangle table with the INPUT, FORWARD and POSTROUTING chains, again in more than one place. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. see /etc/init.d/iptables 2. 3. Additional info:
3) is duplicate of bug #75723.
fixed in iptables-1.2.7a-1.
